Multi Value Of a Dependent Variable

Hi, everyone.

I just want to ask about a variable that can be changed when it declared.

I have a variable called type with the function :

hour = [1:24];
min = [1:1440];
sec = [1:3600];
type = seconds(duration(hour(2), min(2), sec(2)) - duration(hour(1), min(1), sec(1)));

After that... I want to create a new variable based on the result of the variable of type. Let have the new variable as mr_x. I just want to make mr_x variable must to change the value based on these criteria :

If type variable = '1' , mr_x value is "seconds" (a scalar)

If type variable = '60' , mr_x value is "minutes" (a scalar)

If type variable = '3600' , mr_x value is "hours" (a scalar)

So basically, mr_x just has 3 kind of output : seconds, minutes, or hours once it declared....

Is that possible to create such a variable in matlab? Thank you everyone....

switch type
    case 1
        mr_x = "seconds";
    case 60
        mr_x = "minutes";
    case 3600
        mr_x = "hours";
    otherwise
        % handle unauthorised values
end
